Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a kitchen box, and more particularly to a kitchen box mounted on a loading platform of a vehicle to enable cooking of food and drinks.

Background Art

[0002] There is a kitchen car that sells food and drinks such as ice cream, hot dogs, and ramen while performing simple cooking in a square, park, festival venue, etc. This kitchen car is obtained by modifying the loading platform of the vehicle and adding a kitchen box, and supplies necessary for cooking and selling food and drinks, such as a sink, a table, a gas stove, water supply and drainage tanks, a ventilation fan, cooking utensils, and tableware, are installed in the kitchen box. The kitchen box is equipped with a door for workers to enter and exit and a window for handing over food and drinks.

[0003] By the way, in the kitchen box provided in the conventional kitchen car, since the frame of the box is fixed on the loading platform of the vehicle, the worker has to work at the height of getting on the loading platform of the vehicle, and the position of the worker is one step higher than that of the purchaser standing on the ground, which has the drawbacks of giving a sense of intimidation to the customer and making a mistake in taking an order. In addition, there are drawbacks such as difficulty in handing over goods to customers, difficulty in seeing the cooking scene from customers, and lack of a show effect.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] The invention according to claim 1 is an inner housing that can be detachably fixed to the loading platform of a vehicle by fixing means, an outer housing provided outside the inner housing and slidably provided in the front-rear direction by a slide rail interposed between the inner housing and the outer housing, and includes the inner housing has an open rear surface and is equipped with kitchen facilities inside, the outer housing has an open front surface and bottom surface, and is equipped with a rear door through which a person can enter and exit and an opening / closing window, the outer housing is slidable between a position where it retracts forward and overlaps the outside of the inner housing and a position where at least half of the bottom opening extends rearward from the loading platform, and is characterized by this. The invention according to claim 2 is equipped with a ventilation fan inside the inner housing that can connect a duct, and an exhaust hole that can connect a duct is provided in the outer housing, and is characterized by this.

Advantages of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, by sliding the outer housing backward, it can be extended onto the ground behind the loading platform. An operator can enter the outer housing through the rear door and stand on the ground to work, without giving a sense of intimidation to customers, and it becomes easier to interact with customers and transfer items. Also, by removing the fixing means of the inner housing to the loading platform, the kitchen box including the inner housing and the outer housing can be easily transferred to another vehicle. Also, by operating the ventilation fan, it is possible to avoid smoke from gathering inside the inner housing.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described using examples.

Example

[0010] A wagon equipped with a kitchen box according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a partial cutaway and abbreviated side view of a wagon equipped with a kitchen box according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the wagon with the hatchback door open, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are explanatory drawings of the usage method of the kitchen box. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a wagon capable of cooking food and beverages, and a kitchen box 10 is mounted on a loading platform portion 2. The wagon 1 is provided with a hatchback door 3. The kitchen box 10 is used for cooking, preparing, and selling food and beverages. The kitchen box 10 can be extended onto the ground behind the loading platform portion 2 by opening the hatchback door 3 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

[0011] The kitchen box 10 has a double housing structure. Inside the kitchen box 10, reference numeral 11 denotes a rectangular box-shaped inner housing with an open rear surface. Reference numeral 12 denotes an outer housing that is stacked so as to cover the outside of the inner housing 11, and has open front and bottom surfaces. Reference numeral 13 denotes slide rails interposed at the lower part between the inner housing 11 and the outer housing 12, and provided on both left and right sides of the kitchen box 10. The outer housing 12 is provided so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the inner housing 11 by the slide rails 13.

[0012] The kitchen box 10 is detachably fixed to the loading platform 2 of the wagon 1 by bolts 14, which are an example of fixing means, on the bottom surface of the inner housing 11. By removing the bolts 14 and once lowering it from the wagon 1, it can be transferred and mounted on other wagons or light trucks. Instead of the bolts 14, it may be detachably fixed to the loading platform 2 by a belt.

[0013] The inner housing 11 is provided with kitchen facilities 15 including a sink, a stove, a table, a cupboard, etc. inside. Also, a water tank, fuel, etc. (not shown) are loaded. 16 is a ventilation fan provided on the ceiling, and a detachable flexible duct 17 can be connected.

[0014] The outer housing 12 has an open front and bottom, and is provided with a rear door 18 through which people can enter and exit, and an opening and closing window 19. An exhaust hole 20 to which the duct 17 can be connected is provided in a part of the window 19. The outer housing 12 is slidable between a position where it is retracted forward and overlaps the outside of the inner housing 11, and a position where at least half of the bottom opening extends from the loading platform 2 to the ground behind.

[0015] Next, the usage method of the wagon 1 equipped with the above-described kitchen box will be described. It is assumed that the outer housing 12 has been retracted forward in advance and has moved to a position overlapping the outside of the inner housing 11 as shown in FIG. 1. When the operator arrives at the sales location, he / she flips up and opens the hatchback door 3 as shown in FIG. 2, and slides the outer housing 12 backward as shown in FIG. 3 so that more than half of the bottom opening extends from the loading platform 2 to the ground behind.

[0016] After that, the operator enters through the rear door 18 of the outer housing 12, stands on the ground, attaches the duct 17, lowers a table or the like (not shown) from the inner housing 11 to the ground, and performs the work of mobile sales. By the operator standing on the ground to work, it is possible to avoid giving a sense of intimidation to customers, and it becomes easier to interact with customers and hand over items. Also, during operation, the ventilation fan 16 can be operated to avoid smoke from accumulating inside the inner housing 11 or the outer housing 12. After sales, the outer housing 12 can be slid forward and returned to its original retracted position.

[0017] Note that by removing the bolts 14 (or belts) that fix the inner housing 11 to the loading platform 2, the kitchen box 10 including the inner housing 11 and the outer housing 12 can be easily transferred to another vehicle.

[0018] According to this embodiment, by sliding the outer housing 12 backward, it can be extended onto the ground behind the loading platform 2. An operator can enter the outer housing 12 from the rear door 18 and stand on the ground to perform operations, which can avoid giving a sense of intimidation to customers and facilitate interaction with customers and the delivery of goods. Also, by removing the fixing means of the inner housing 11 to the loading platform 2, the kitchen box 10 including the inner housing 11 and the outer housing 12 can be easily transferred to another vehicle. Also, the ventilation fan 16 can be operated to avoid smoke from accumulating in the inner housing 11.
